Even Stephen

Lucky escape for Stephen O'Connell just now; he was all in against his deep-stacked neighbor Jani Vilmunen with a dominated ace vs. {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}. Having flipped their hands, O'Connell had sort of tucked his kicker under the ace, and waited to see what the board would bring. It worked out well for him - a double paired {9-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds} board split the pot to keep him in the tournament.
